Pandemic was the turning point for the cultural sector. Museums closed their physical facilities and lost the ability to serve their public.
Facing the unprecedented crisis cultural institutions are looking for ways to pivot and innovate — museums must not only recover but also become
future-proof museums. We will look into museums trying to redefine their meaning within the current demographic, technological, and economical context with the goal to design new speculative ideas on how museum experience could shift. We will use design thinking methods: interviewing experts, learning how to use ethnographic diaries, and doing field observations, in order to redesign new spaces for museums: spaces to exhibit collections, to create interactions between heritage and visitors, and to build a community around the institution. By the end of the workshop, we will create a new vision for cultural institutions to operate under new normality:
resilient, responsible, and agile.
